The Brazilian Mycetes monkey, or red
bowler, defends itself by means of its ap-

a Mycetes assembly will set up a general
whoop, raising their voices to deafening
uproar, till the enemy prefers to retreat,
Some of the old howleTs are then apt to pur-
sue him for a quarter of a mile breaking out
into fresh excavations whenever they catch
sight of his speekled hide. 1t takes hours to
calm their excitement, and in the moonlight,
when every bush seems to hide a lurking foe,
they often make night of it. and keep up a
far sounding roar, renewed at the rustling of
every twig.
The East African baboon often falls a vic

Not long ago Mr. DAILY celebrated the hun.
dredth performance of The Tanning Of the
Sbrewn with d supper served at an immense
round table placed in the center of
the stage of his theatre. Gen. Sherman
presided, with Miss Ada Rehan at his right.
Just before the party broke up the general
paid glowing compliment to the dramatic
art He concluded by speaking Of its won
derful power of expressing human emotions.
But" said he, slowly and impressively, "if
you have ever heard the bugle call to battle
if You have ever seen rife leveled to kill,
and heard the bullet whistle through the air
if a wounded comrade has ever been laid
at your feet, and you have put your hand
upon his heart and felt it flutter and go out,
you will realize that there are some things
your art cannot express. Good night" And
the hushed and attentive actors felt that the
general had made as dramatic an exit as any
that was ever made upon the stage.-The Ar.

There seems to be sort of fatality
connected with every attempt on the part
of the Gilpiu hose company to get up q
picnic. The boys have never yet made
preparations for such pleasure that ii
has failed TO rain. Saturday was one Of
the many illustrations of this fact The
picnic was therefore postponed until yes

II is no longer a question of doubt
although the contrary was once believed
that medicines which would produce
violent effects are unsuited to other than
desperate emergencies. In other words, that
super potent remedies are calculated to
